He is such an ass. Does he think he is the only person capable of directing Transformers? Does he think he owns the rights to the Transformer's name, designs, story, and mythology? He's out of his mind.

I could understand he's anger if Universal included his name in the ride like "Michael Bay's Transformers Ride" without his permission. But if that is not the case then he has nothing to be upset about and it's time for someone to deflate his ego.

I would be very happy if Universal said goodbye to him when it came time for Transformers 3. Then he can go make a Go-Bots movie with John Woo.

What he's upset about is that they said he supported it. According to him he was not even contacted, but his name was still attached to it.

I see no "Ego" in wanting to make sure you have a say about what gets your name attached to it.




This fandom as a whole need to seriously get over itself because frankly it seems as thought the fandom is the one with an "ego" problem.

So much wrong with this post...

An ass he may be, but he was the one *chosen* to direct TransFormers. He not only know he's capable of directing it, but he was handpicked by one of the biggest names in Hollywood. He's never declared that he owned anything, or that he runs Hollywood. You couldn't be further off the mark here.

They did the next closest thing to slapping his name on the ride, they claimed he supported and endorsed it. He did neither thing. They had no right to flat out lie and put something in print that he never, ever said. That's what he's angry about, and let's face it, if you said "I'm a collector!" and someone posted/printed/whatever "I hate collecting and I think collectors are selfish jackasses." you'd not only be angry, you'd edit their post or ask someone to do it for you. Since Bay couldn't get it retracted, he defended himself and snapped back. Again, you're off the mark here. Missing the entire point of his attack.

Wow, incorrect yet again! Yay for you. Universal has no hand in this movie franchise, nor did they hire him. Paramount and Dreamworks, through their partnership, created the movie and the franchise.

The fact that you can miss something that well known (we've spoken about it for years since the first movie was even mentioned...) then I can definitely see how you'd miss the entire point of what Bay's trying to convey. And I can also see how you can completely hate a man you don't even know because you have your head up your rear end so far, you'd need to go slack jawed to see daylight.

I'm so sick and tired of people hating Michael Bay for DIRECTING A MOVIE! I'm so sick and tired of people getting the facts WRONG.

Ah, never mind...I'm just banging my head against a wall here, for no reason.

Autobot032 are you trying to bait me? Some of your responses have definitely gone over the line.

No. Baiting was not my intention. Stating facts was all I did. I do admit my tone was extremely harsh, and my post came close, but I made sure not to cross the line. It's not worth that kind of trouble.

You had it all wrong, I corrected you on it. Did I handle it the right way? Not entirely.

No need to be that harsh. If you cannot handle things without being harsh then you do not belong here.

eh... reading this whole topic, I can safely say from an outside perspective that he wasn't trying to bait you, only correct you. The harshness in his response wasn't maybe needed to that extent but I'd have to say I agree with everything autobot032 said, not necessarily his tone in his last response but what he said is all 100% correct, harsh tone or not. Although the "harsh" tone in his response to that git above you if anything was completely and totally warranted.

The point that I was trying to make before some people went overboard with their comments is that people get misquoted all the time by the media: Directos, Actors, Performers, Business folks, Politicians, etc., but only a few people in the media spotlight fly off the handle each time. Why couldn't Michael Bay just simply have said - "No that is not what I said". Why all the extra drama? That is what I find unwarranted.
